Is it micro cheating, rude, or something else when a partner views endless social media posts of near naked women?

It's what he wants to look at. If it's endless then it grew into obsession. I think watching these apps for prolonged time every day isn't healthy in general no matter the content.

I know one hobby photographer in his 40s who spends a lot of time searching for young models, girls in their early 20s mostly, taking them to a studio or various places for photoshoots.Now this is what I call a problem. 😶 I heard his wife is depressed. Color me surprised.

If it's never been discussed, I'd say it's something else. If it bothers you, you should discuss it with him. If he ignores your concerns and continues openly then it's pretty rude. If he continues but tries to hide it, that would be micro-cheating in my book. If he adjusts his viewing habits or at least engages in communication to find a compromise I'd say that is actually pretty good because you know you can communicate.

So yeah, too early to tell. Talk it out with him.

If your partner enjoys looking at photos of semi dressed or near naked women rather than at you, ask him what the attraction is. I know many guys appreciate a nude woman. I myself do.
but it also pays to appreciate what is standing in front of you unless there is some reason wife your wife doesn’t float your boat like she used to when you first met her.

To me it's a semi form of cheating and probably an obsession or addiction. It's also disrespectful to the partner. Social media is contributing to the ruination of real life relationships.

Lol ummm you have to be LOOKING at that for it to show up from the algorithm.... Believe it or not even though I'm single and It don't matter I've got Facebook and even had Tik Tok in the past and near n*ked women never showed up in my feed... But Maby it's just me.. I can't speak for everyone

I am not so sure it’s cheating but if it’s constant it is worth asking why. Or just have your similar pic show up on the feed and see his reaction

Whether it's cheating or not lies in the mind of the partner I feel

Being on social media is becoming detrimental to our real relationships.

Nope, it's normal for human beings -- and evidently more than normal for A.I. algorithms.
